Ok..... I have a 2012 Wide Glide with the 103 motor, screaming eagle heavy breather, Vance and Hines 2 into 2 big shots and screaming eagle super tuner pro. I have narrowed it down to the Andrews 48h and the Screaming Eagle 204. I can't really say I'm looking for performance as much as good lope of the cam. Which one would be best for my bike? Just want a good bolt in for now....not really looking to do any head work just yet.

 

Andrews 48H or woods 222 would be my choice for the 96 or 103 with stage 1. I think the SE204 wants slightly more compression over stock to be a good cam.

 

Thanks .. The 48 seems to have a good idle

 

I've heard the S&S easy starts actually have a great lope.

Best bet is go on youtube and listen. Since you don't care about dyno numbers and just the lope you'll actually get to know the real answer to your question.

 

Just got mine finished...Love the lope, and at 2800 it just explodes in a forward direction...Feels like a big turbo just kicked in......You should be able to searchyou tube with your cam choices and be able to listen to them...Cheers

 

Hmmmm, choosing a cam because of the noise it makes at idle...The Spanner finds this perplexing to say the least....whatever happened to choosing a cam for your riding style???

I like the 203 because it has low down grunt, works on a stock motor and has a good spread of power...but not sure about "lope" its not something my customers ever put into the equation.

You could set the idle too rich....that would make it lope ;-)

 

What's perplexing to me is.... No matter how large or small the crowd... There's always one in it!!!!!

 

Go with the 204s. Great spread of power, the best of the SEs in my opinion. Lovely sound too, I even dropped my tickover to 975 to exaggerate it.

The biggy though is that you will be able to tune it with your SEPST easily yourself. You will be able to throw on the canned SE204 map and call it good, or do a bit of Smart tuning for extra goodness. Use another make of cam and you will have to get a custom map on there to match the cams and that means dyno time.

 

If you mean "voice of reason and wisdom", I would say you were spot on!

 

I just put the SE 204 in mine and the sound is great. It sounds a little different just about ever light I have to stop at, and the performance is outstanding. I don't know of all the others but I couldn't be happier.
